Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis may set two francise strikeout records

Boston Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis is not only in the Rookie of The Year race, but a race to capture the highest K% in the American League (qualified).

Right now, Chavis (33.3%) is in a bitter struggle with fellow rookie Brandon Lowe (33.9%) of the Rays. This should add some excitement to individual battles for K supremacy as the two teams square off. And don’t forget Rougned Odor (33%) of the Texas Rangers.

Chavis is just symptomatic of baseball circa 2019 – at least the hitting or lack of hitting part.
